TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

KENYA

Last year to commemorate the holiday season I made a string of special posts inspired by the Twelve Days of Christmas and this year it is back but the topic is new and I hope just as exciting as the last. This years the countdown will be on Novel Destinations. Stories where the setting was not just a mere back drop but an extra character in the story as well. So enjoy and let the fun begin:)

12 Out Of Africaby Karen Blixen

❅

This is a memoir by Isak Dinesen (a pen name, her real name being Karen Blixen). This book is an account of her life while she was in Kenya running her coffee plantation. Becoming a much beloved story it is now a classic portraying the beauty of Kenya. 'It is a vivid snapshot of African Colonial life' and I couldn't agree more.
